The dividends to shareholders shall reflect the company’s profit and cash flow development as well as growth opportunities. The Board of Director’s opinion is that the dividend should correspond to about 50% of earnings per share.

The difference is in voting power. An A-share represents one vote at the Annual General meeting, while a B-share represents 1/10 of a vote. A class A and a class B share have exactly the same right to Atlas Copco’s capital, and get the same dividends.

The Atlas Copco Group does not arrange meetings with the press, media, investors, analysts or other capital market actors for a period of 30 days prior to the publication of a quarterly report. The Group only addresses issues of a general nature during the silent/closed period.
